I just bought the Elite 360 to function as my HTPC rig with the occasional gaming. It's for my room at the fraternity house to try to go with something smaller. I also got the Corsair H50 as it's a good, small cooler. As I see it with this case, it has 2x80mm fan holes in the back and 1x80mm on the bottom. It also has a 120mm on the side and one on the top. I currently have 2x120mm CM Red LED fans, 1 120mm fan with the H50, 1 120mm fan with the 360. I need to decide the best way to intake/exhaust the air, and if buying 80mm fans will help, which fans to buy. The only thing I know I plan on doing is putting the radiator on the top. Any ideas?

radiator would just do as good but what do you mean by "best way to intake/exhaust air"
Are you looking for fans?`80mm are ok...but i don't think you need super duper fans just to exhaust air, also make sure the power cables aren't blocking the air passage...you won't be overclocking your stuff because you are gonna play occasionaly. If you're gonna keep stuff @ stock then you don't need cooler for video card or cpu...
If you plan on getting a cooler for cpu if you wanna overclock it, then get v8 cooler which is currently one of the best cooler for overclocking the cpu and is around 40$ so yea...

Wait, I said I got the Corsair H50. This case is very small and couldn't fit any tower cooler. Got the H50 for $60 on TD anyway. For reference, this is the cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119195. See how I need to decide what I want to exhaust, intake, and if I want to buy anymore fans?
I have the same case and I'm planning on getting an H50 as well. How does it bolt up to the top exhaust? Is push/pull possible or does it fit at all?
are you going to be doing any overclocking? cuz if not, then it doesnt really matter how you set it up. either or would be good enough. if you are overclocking, id set the radiator as intake, or mount it outside of the case if possible.

The H50 works too, It doesn't fit the top vent but I've got it working push/pull. the side panel closes as it should

UP!
i'm on the same problem like you guys.
corsair recommends to mount the radiator on the back with the hosels down. so i decided to mount the new h60 (smaller cpu heatsink) on the side panel to get corsair's recommendations.
my actual fan setup looks like this:
side panel: h60, exhaust
top: intake
back: nothing
bottom: nothing
is this a good setup or do you have some better one? the system should be as cool and quiet as possible!
